the anarchist, was arrested at noon To-
day at the office Of his newspaper: He
was taken directly to police head
quarters and locked up. His arrest
was made by directions of Inspector
Byrnes on q warrant issued by Justice
COwing to-day for having made an
incendiary speech calculated to incite a
riot on last Friday night in the hall on
Seventh street. On Saturday night
Johann Most with his companion Lena
chists meeting on Seventh
street. Most himself made speech
which was particularly bloodcurdling in
character. Patrolmen Rott and Sechs
were there in civilians dress, taking
notes. Monday search was begun
for the anarchist but he was not to be
found. When the excitement OF
the search for Most had died out
he thought the trouble was gone by
and yesterday he came back to the city
and went to work with his paper.
This morning Mr.. Byrne presented the
evidence he had obtained against Most
for incendiarism, and asked that the
grand jury find an indictment against
him. The inspector and seven
witnesses gave testimony, and on
indictment was found. In the mean
while Most had been arrested. Most
insists that he did not use the language
attributed to hin by the police. AS this
is the second time he has been arrested
for making violent speeches he will
probably get the full extent OF the law,
which is one years imprisonment and
fine.

of the people could barely be sup
pressed when ON Saturday last, four
married women and two men left their
homes and made public their intention
of going to Utah. The people then all
rose up at once and gave the elders
orders to move ON instantly. They re-
fused at first but Monday

and the next night two Others were
chased into the woods by hounds and
kept in the trees all night. The elders
left next day and the converts are now
missing also, leaving six forsaken
homes. If the elders ever return they
will be shot on sight. The Mormons
then moved into Alabama and began
their WORK in the lower part of this
county, among the ignorant country
people. They were more successful
there, and have already baptized a
dozen or more. Tuesday, while Elders

meeting at log school house, fifty
pit. They were carried into the
woods, the mob threatening to
hang them at every step,
but on the intercession of friends they
were released on their written promise
to leave the country in twenty-four
hours. Death was the alternative IL
they returned. Both left that night,
but without their converts, escorted q
portion of the way by an armed band
of nearly one hundred men. Armed
patrols are on guard and have publicly
announced their intentions of killing
the first elder who returns there. a
rumor was current that Elder Masters
was killed on the Georgia side by blood
hounds, but it cannot be substantiated.
